SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (August 1, 2010) -- Oxnard’s Andrew Perez is keeping his streak going.  After earlier wins this summer at the Oxnard, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara City Championships, he won the second playoff hole at Simi Hills Golf Course on Sunday to win his fourth city championship of the summer.  After 36 holes, Perez was tied with Johnny Mac Arthur, a Pepperdine golfer from Newhall.

Perez made the playoff by shooting rounds of 64 and 70 (134 total), while Mac Arthur came from two strokes back to tie Perez, shooting 66 and 68.  Both golfers scored pars on the first hole of the playoff, but while Perez’ tee shot on hole two landed in the fairway over 300 yards from the tee, Mac Arthur pulled his tee shot and was forced to lay up on his second shot.  Perez was on the green in two, missed an opportunity for an eagle and birdied the hole.  Mac Arthur, though, left his birdie putt short and settled for par and second place in the tournament.

Perez will move up even further than his current

Jake Katz from Thousand Oaks placed third, shooting rounds of 71 and 68, for a total of 139.  Tied at fourth place with scores of 140 were Chatsworth’s James Holley and Johnny Ruiz of Camarillo.
